review 1: I read the biography of the Queen last year so I decided to read more about her husband. I found many of the details of his life fascinating. Who knew that he had so much early tragedy or that his mom became a nun? I definitely felt sorry for him as a child having no real root...

review 1: Loved this book. It was very readable but heartbreaking to learn of his early life without home, family, emotions. He may be sometimes difficult now for those around him, but is certainly understandable and even admirable for the way he has supported the queen all these years....
